Karl Lagerfeld sketched a “no smoking” sign but it’s not your typical sign. However, he was not making a statement about unhealthy habits, instead he was noting all the YSL references on many runways and he was stating that you would find a “smoking” – the french term for tuxedo – on his runway. Lagerfeld stated: “We don’t have to do smoking. Hedi Slimane really does it well.” WWD

CHANAILS! Miss May 2012 Chanel Manicure, Vintage Gift Wrap & Camellias
MISS is back again with more CHANAILS for their MISS Nails Did 2012 calendar. Nothing says spring like flowers and if you’re going floral – whether on your jeans, kicks or nails – they might as well be Chanel-inspired. Since color is huge for spring, and in particular for 2012, we opted for bright vintage Chanel gift wrap for our background and authentic Chanel camellia brooches to accompany our CHANAILS. I hope you’re having a great spring and let’s get ready for summer!

Chanails! March Madness Style
Each month MISS, La Chanelphile’s sister site, releases a desktop image and monthly calendar for free download. The theme of the calendar is “Nails Did” and each month we match a manicure to a designer accessory. To celebrate March Madness we decided to don Chanel pearl knuckles and play some ball – with a Chanel basketball of course! We also brought out an A-team of Chanel’s fragrance heavy hitters, including Jersey Numbers 5, 19, 28 and 31, definitely the most chic basketball jerseys I’ve ever seen. For links to download the free desktop and calendar please visit MISS.
